Project Engineer – Heavy Civil Highway ConstructionBuild Roads. Build Wealth. Build a Million-Dollar Future.What if your next job could make you a millionaire?
This isn't just another Project Engineer opportunity.
Our client is a 100% employee-owned heavy civil contractor where every project you help deliver builds value for you. Through one of the industry's premier Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOP), employees have the opportunity to accumulate significant retirement wealth over the course of their careers. Many long-term employee-owners have built seven-figure retirement accounts through the company's ESOP.
If you're looking for a company that rewards performance, promotes from within, and allows you to share in the success you help create, this is the opportunity you've been waiting for.
Why Engineers Join—and StayIndustry-Leading Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)
Build real long-term wealth through employee ownership. Many dedicated employees have accumulated retirement accounts worth $1 million or more during their careers.
Outstanding Compensation & Benefits
- $100,000–$130,000 base salary (DOE)
- Annual performance bonus
- Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)
- 401(k)
- Exceptional medical, dental & vision insurance
- Generous Paid Time Off

Work That Matters
Join a financially strong contractor with a robust backlog of UDOT and municipal transportation projects that improve communities throughout Utah.
What You'll Be Doing
As a Project Engineer, you'll partner closely with Project Managers and Superintendents to help deliver complex heavy civil transportation projects safely, on schedule, and within budget.
Responsibilities include:
- Supporting Project Managers throughout all phases of construction
- Managing RFIs, submittals, change orders and project documentation
- Tracking project costs, quantities, budgets and production
- Coordinating subcontractors, suppliers and field operations
- Reviewing plans, specifications and schedules
- Helping ensure successful project execution from start to finish
We're Looking For
Ideally, you'll bring 8-10 years of Project Engineering experience in heavy civil construction. Candidates with somewhat less experience who possess exceptional heavy civil backgrounds will also be considered.
Requirements:
- Heavy civil highway, roadway or transportation construction experience
- Experience supporting DOT, UDOT or municipal infrastructure projects preferred
- Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering, Construction Management, or equivalent experience
- Strong organizational, communication and problem-solving skills
- A desire to continue growing into future leadership opportunities
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
Not every contractor offers ownership.
Not every company has a proven track record of promoting from within.
And very few provide the combination of:
- Employee ownership
- Financial stability
- Challenging, high-profile infrastructure projects
- Exceptional benefits
- Outstanding career growth
If you're looking for more than just your next project—and want to build a career with a company where your contributions directly impact your own financial future—we'd love to speak with you.
